About this property
Ain't Life Grand? - Pacific Grove House - Beach + Town
This urban oasis is a few blocks from the beach, and around the corner from one of the most charming Main Streets in America. Located in the commercial district of Pacific Grove, it’s just steps from shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes, a wine bar and a movie theater. The entry area—with a bistro table and a sofa—is set up like a storefront. The real living areas are behind the door, where you can relax on leather sofas adjoining a lovely kitchen with mocha-colored quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar that seats four. The master bedroom has a private bath with a walk-in shower; the upstairs bedroom has a peek of the ocean and an en suite powder room. The laundry is in the basement at the bottom of the stairs, and all the delights of Pacific Grove are right outside your front door. You can swim, dive or kayak at Lover's Point right down the street (with a white sand beach for sunning, a kiddie pool, beach volleyball court, and a snack bar, café and restaurant). With grassy areas for picnics and surrey, bike, kayak and paddle board rentals—this park is a favorite of visitors and locals alike. Stroll down the coastal recreation trail to commune with seals and sea otters, or play golf at the ocean side Pacific Grove Golf Course, affectionately known as a budget-minded alternative to Pebble Beach. A short drive will take you to Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf, downtown Monterey or Carmel. Within minutes you can be touring scenic 17-Mile Drive, hiking to secluded Big Sur beaches,horseback riding, deep-sea fishing or whale watching. Any questions? Just ask “Alexa.” Street parking and one designated space in the lot across the street. Pacific Grove Transient Use License #419

Cozy and well maintained Condo!
Clean and well maintained Condo with easy check in&out. Very close to beach. Our family loved the place. Thanks Kyle for responding quickly to our questions.
Amazing place and perfect location! We stayed for the Big Sur Marathon and was easy and comfortable. Very happy with the beds, bathrooms, and kitchens. All in all, fantastic stay and great host, would do it it again!
Loved this sweet little spot in the heart of Pacific Grove! It was immaculate, with a fabulous kitchen and you couldn't find a better location. Will definitely stay there again. Great experience.
Apartment was conveniently located and bigger than expected with well-stocked kitchen and full-size appliances.The living room has a skylight but given it is interior to the back bedroom and entry way, there are no windows in the center. We had the windows open for the majority of our trip, which kept the apartment cool. However, doing so meant that we could hear the seagulls throughout the night. Door to laundry was not full size (have to bend down) and we repeatedly hit our heads. Kyle was very responsive. Beds were very comfortable and shower had good water pressure/temperature.

I'm glad you enjoyed the apartment's convenient location, spacious layout, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and that I was able to respond quickly during your stay.
I also wanted to mention that an extension pole was available during your visit to close the skylight shade. I'll do a better job of making it more visible and letting guests know where to find it so it's easier to use.
Nice place. Fancy Good location. Not for any one with mobility issuesNeed grab bars in shower.

Great location
We had a great stay at Pacific Grove. The apartment has everything you need and plenty of space for everyone.
The location is great, and the beds were very comfortable.
You can hear the piano music from the school next door but it didn’t concern us, it added to it.
My only feedback is to also have some dish cloths and tea towels available, I couldn’t find any so when I wanted to wash the dishes instead of using the dishwasher it was difficult to dry them.
We loved our stay! The house was in the perfect location — walking distance to shops, restaurants, cafes, and even a grocery store. Stepping outside and seeing the ocean just down the street felt magical, especially with the morning mist and the sound of seagulls greeting us each day. It was the perfect Pacific Grove getaway!

Wonderful Place
Wonderful place and perfect location in Pacific Grove. It comes with a parking too! It’s our 7th year of staying for 21 days. Countless restaurants, markets, and bakeries just a walk away. Lover’s Point for walking/biking just down four blocks. This is where we’ll stay again for sure!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to everyone. The home is absolutely beautiful inside and the location is perfect. Just a short walk to Lover’s Point and the cute little town with lots of restaurants and shops.
A fantastic home that is very well updated, in an awesome location right off Lighthouse blvd walking to shops, restaurants and coffee shops. We really enjoyed our stay.
Very cute place that fit my family of 4 really nice. Easy to find location and parking was easy. Much better and easier then any hotel stay.
